The Buck Props Here! - Anthony Buchanan: A life in rugby (Paperback)

Autobiography of Llanelli prop, Welsh Rugby Union Board and International Rugby Board member Anthony Buchanan. Although he only won a handful of International caps for Wales, Anthony Buchanan's story is unusual in that it spans both the playing and administrative sides of the game as well as bridging Welsh rugby's momentous shift from the amateur days to professionalism. A trusted confidant of Gareth Jenkins, he is ideally placed to comment on Llanelli RFC's transition from club to region, not to mention the birth of European rugby. He is a natural raconteur and as well as telling his own story, he delivers a rare and informed insight into one of Wales's most famous rugby clubs and regions and the highest echelons of the game. In his capacity as former Chairman of the International Referees Selection Panel, he discusses his frank opinions of the role of Television Match Officials and their impact on the game for players and spectators alike, the career of Nigel Owens and the infamous red card issued by Alain Rolland to Sam Warburton in the 2011 Rugby World Cup semi-final. He also provides a behind-the-scenes look at the rugby world that is always laced with humor and often downright hilarious.
